Mini

Mini (a.k.a - Sopranino, Piccolo, Sopranissimo or Pocket)

The smallest of the Ukulele Sizes with a scale length of less than 32cm (or 12 inches). Some say this is not a proper scale at all but it has been around since the early 1900's when Jonah Kumalae, (the first mass producer of Ukuleles and the man responsible for really introducing them outside Hawaii), started making his "Minis". Only a few companies make this size and there is not a lot of variety with those that do. They can be tricky to play because they are so small and they are often tuned higher than a standard Ukulele
